Nose: rye and soft barrel spice. Vanilla and faint milk chocolate. This is not an overpowering etoh forward nose. Sweetness, honeyed. Malt. Little leather. Woody and earthy later.
Body: medium
Palate: interesting, unique, complex and seemingly a lot going on on the first sip. Rye, chocolate, bready maltiness, cinnamon, water chestnut (?) or light nuttiness. Black licorice really started to dominate late in the dram.
Finish: medium
Note: a great pick up from 1010. Very hard to get any willet rye other than the 4 year. This barrel was picked by Rachel 😮 so I hope it’s good. This is barrel 2237, 58.3%, 7 yr. Yup this is good and interesting. Overall this was extremely easy to drink and has layers of flavor.
